Do you feel stuck emotionally? Are you dissatisfied with your relationships? Are you having trouble navigating a big transition in your life? I offer a compassionate listening ear, and use proven methods to help you heal wounds from the past, reshape present patterns and relationships, and discover a new path into a healthy and joyful future.

Each life stage brings a particular set of challenges and opportunities, much of which we can handle on our own. When you need someone to listen and to help you find your way, working with a counselor like me can be a wonderful option. My focus is on quickly building a foundation of respect, empathy, and support for our work together, to help you understand yourself better and get back to living the life you want. My clients come to me for help with issues like: life transitions, relationships, making decisions, changing goals, worries/sadness, grief/loss, and more.

"Forgive yourself for not knowing what you didn't know until you lived through it. Honor your path. Trust your journey. Learn, Grow, Evolve, Become" That's not my quote but it's a good idea of what I believe therapy is all about. I work with clients to help them connect with their truth and to trust it. They learn how to practice self love and self care. These are important steps to finding solutions to your challenges. If our life or our self image is out of balance it wreaks havoc on our mental health. I support clients in finding balance which leads to peace and joy. If you are looking to heal or grow let's begin that journey!

The world is an unpredictable changeling, filled with unexpected negativity, trauma, beauty and love. Sometimes all at once. How are we to feel? Can we be emotionally grounded in the midst of madness? Can we get out of bed in the morning energized when that day, like many before, feels like a battle we must get through? Surprise, you’re not alone! This is us, we’re in it together and we have a secret. We have each other. After 25 years in the field of counseling; trauma, depression and addiction have become areas of knowledge. These can be interrelated.

Life will always have ups and downs and in those dark moments, I am there to sit with you in your grief and help you walk out of it through personalized treatment plans. Sometimes that grief is for your family, as there is no greater fear than that of a child hurting or something "just not being right." Sometimes it is in a relationship and lines have been crossed so many times getting back on track seems impossible. For individuals, I specialize in anxiety and depression relief by teaching tools you can take with you through life. Whether working through family or individual issues, progress is my top priority.

**TeleHealth Counseling Available!** I bring authentic listening joined with the power of hope into the counseling relationship. When life brings its seasons of challenges and difficulties, I am confident that a road traveled together is the beginning of change. I believe in the uniqueness of individuals and without judgment, bring faith for the faithful and faithless. I compassionately help those struggling with relationship conflicts, self-esteem issues, trauma, addictions, partners suffering from sexual abuse, depression, anxiety, grief, shame and spiritual brokenness.

Life can be challenging at times. Whether it’s from patterns of thinking or behaving we’ve carried with us since childhood, or relationship dynamics we’ve forged, or hurdles we’ve encountered in our day-to-day journey, or lingering trauma, sometimes we can feel stuck. We may even lose a sense of our own identity along the way, and that “lost” feeling brings experiences of anxiety, stress, sadness, fear, physical struggles, or more. It can be helpful to find a safe space to explore our thoughts and feelings, and counseling can offer an objective perspective, thought-provoking questions, and help in discovering the way forward.

As a seasoned clinician with Northern Virginia Older Adult Counseling, I work with adults, focusing on older adults and their families coping with challenges. I offer experience with aging, depression/anxiety, pandemic stress, illness and disability, cognitive impairment, death and dying, caregiving, care/resource planning, loss and grief, relationship issues and adjusting to transitions that come with adulthood. I use interventions (CBT, solution focused, relational, etc...) tailored to best meet your needs. I use a person centered and strengths based approach to offer hope in your efforts to thrive.

People come to therapy for a variety of reasons. Those suffering from addictions, compulsions, anxiety, and relationship problems often seek help when they are acting in ways that they don’t want to act or thinking in ways that don’t support their best interests. Let’s change negative patterns! Whether you are experiencing a crisis or are seeking better life balance and a new perspective, you may wish to work with a specialist. I offer warmth, curiosity and an ability to focus on objectives with clients seeking solutions to some of life’s most challenging issues.

Do you struggle with anxious feelings? Is there a past event that you are challenged to move beyond? Perhaps your stress is money-related: You are a business owner with unhelpful money habits. You have adult children who need to learn financial autonomy. You have a security clearance that has been compromised due to debt. You and your spouse constantly argue about money without resolution. In a safe, nonjudgemental and supportive environment you can understand the reasons behind your behaviors. From here you can build the knowledge, skill and strength to create the outcomes you really want.

Reaching out for help takes so much courage! You or your child may be experiencing a crisis, difficult life transition, or just haven't been feeling like yourself lately. Whether it is depression, anxiety, addiction or behavioral problems, it can often feel exhausting and hopeless. However, I believe wholeheartedly that change is always possible, no matter how hard life gets. I create a warm, compassionate environment in which you feel heard and respected. You are the expert on your life, not me. Together we can develop insight and practical solutions that move you closer to the great life you deserve!

I have learned throughout my career, that it takes courage to invest time towards self improvement, guidance and healing. Whatever "season " of life you find yourself in need of assistance; I am a therapist that strives to help my clients "find" their voice, confidence and renewed purpose in life.

I use an integrative approach which is grounded in the belief that all people have strengths/talents that may need to be rediscovered.

People run into relationship problems for all sorts of reasons. You may be struggling to meet someone you connect with. Or, if you are in a blended family, integrating new family members and reconciling differences in parenting styles can cause a lot of stress and tension. Different expectations for the relationship often create unique challenges for couples and everyone brings their own baggage to the relationship. And if you are in a Neurodiverse (Autism/ASD)relationship or marriage, you may be struggling to navigate the nuances of your partner’s behaviors or needs. I can provide clarity, insight and direction for your struggles.
